1940

Your correspondent has just flown in from Europe after a business trip. Since even with business there must be some pleasure, he was overjoyed to have Joyce and Elmer Browne fly to Paris from London to spend the weekend with him. Both look in the pink and they are looking forward to being at reunion in June. If they can make it from England, you sure as heck can reach Hanover one way or another for the Big Twentieth, June 16, 17 and 18. Make your plans now.

Thanks to one Scott A. Rogers Jr., erstwhile resident of Santa Monica, Calif., this column will largely concern itself with classmates from that area. Scotty reports that his young son and daughter are playing superior tennis on the West Coast. At twelve, young Scott is already becoming a match for his father.

John and Betty Crandell are returning east where he will head Time's advertising office in New York. Tom Braden was very active in the presidential campaign in California and did much to bring out the Kennedy vote in the state. The Bradens are expecting their seventh child. Can anyone tie that? Charley Campbell is operating an automobile sales agency in Long Beach. A clipping we received recently from his local paper indicates that he is also quite a cook. He was picked as "Chef of the Week" and his favorite barbecue recipe was featured. Charley has four boys and a girl to keep him busy, but he also manages to keep up an excellent golf game, which serves to add to the family silver chest.

Bob Breech, also in the auto business, is enlarging his house. Jack Rourke is still going great guns in radio and TV. Last sum- mer he interviewed Eb Cockley on one of his shows, an ordeal to which he had subjected Jack Little the year before.

Bill Lucking is living in the Ojai Valley and loving it. Steve Graydon, still a bachelor, is a successful restaurateur. Herb Porter has not changed in appearance since college days. He lives near San Marino-and is in charge of sales for Bekin, which we assume is a moving and storage concern. Page Smith is teaching history at UCLA and is in the process of writing a book. He is also head of his school board and found time last November to run for office, unsuccessfully we regret to report. He and Eloise have six children.

Don Hause has been appointed manager of the real estate department of the B. C. Morton Organization in Boston. He is in charge of all realty operations, including the investigation of properties for the firm's real estate syndication program. Recently he had managed his own real estate firm.

Bob Marshall, who is a student at the Yale Forestry School, was recently married to Walthraut Gertrude Moecke of Porto Union, Brazil.

John Allen has gone back to school. The Bankers Trust Company, of which he is an assistant vice president, has selected him to participate in the 39th session of the Advanced Management Program at Harvard Business School. He will take twelve weeks of intense study between February 19 and May 19. The program has been in operation since 1943 and is designed for top executives or those slated to become such.

Reunion plans are progressing faster and faster. The uniform committee has now settled on the attire for the weekend. Details are still secret, but we can say that bikini bathing suits for the girls and loin cloths for the men were voted down by a small margin! As a matter of fact, it took a recount. The uniform selected, however, will be equally attractive, we assure you.

Secretary, 21 Old Farm Road, Darien, Conn.

Treasurer, 88 North Main St., Concord, N. H.
